There's no standard anymore by which to expect his base to say "enough". They are so thoroughly galvanised against any wrong he could possibly do that he can pull any degrading, amoral stunt he can think of and his base will either ignore it, attempt to rationalise it, or deny he said or did the thing. There's no bottom of the well with that bunch. This was proven during the Republican primaries and has not changed.

Trump's main base and many Republicans treat the non-conservative news sources reporting of Trump's disgraceful behaviour as partisan politics, rather than news sources reporting of a famous person being an absolutely awful human being. That's why no matter how terrible Trump acts on a given day, his conservative backers will bemoan that the majority of the press are anti-Trump or anti-Republican and demand "fair" treatment. What does "fair" treatment look like to them? More of Hannity screaming about Hillary's emails, for one. The emails are what Fox News keeps resorting back to every time Trump does something despicable and they can't twist it into some sort of disingenuously positive pretzel. It's not partisan for a news channel to report on an awful person being awful, it's just passing on the things Trump says and does without filter, and the sad truth is that most of what Trump says and does are abhorrent.

This is what all the culture wars stuff and Trump's carnival act has been about so that the GOP could blow a whole in public finances and give the proceeds to the wealthy. Trump campaigns on "drain the swamp" but it's estimated that up to 6,000 lobbyists could have worked on this tax bill. Brazen con artistry. When will GOP voters get a clue? Unless you're making well over a million a year or above they've got nothing for you except cultural wedge issues. People are dying who can't afford insulin, this is an extreme example but stuff like this is happening.

When will GOP voters get a clue? They won't. They simply won't. Even when the sword the Republicans forged from this tax bill falls on their heads, they won't see it and if they do, they certainly won't learn from it. There's so much utter delusion from so many republican voters I'm seeing on Twitter responding to tweets by popular accounts that they've convinced themselves that this bill will benefit them. Those that do realize that they're screwed, would still gleefully accept immolation by Republicans rather than vote Democrat. To them, Democrats are the dictionary definition of evil and corrupt, and to see this in action you need not look further than those in Alabama who face a decision of voting for a predator of teenage girls and a Democrat and they're conflicted by the choice. Anyone conflicted by that choice can go fuck themselves.

It's the eternal choice between a bunch dead-eyed psychopaths and metropolitan liberals. I want to see Democrats make the right enemies, I want every one of them to make Bankers scared the way Elizabeth Warren does. They don't understand power the way Republicans do. No one really gives a shit that they went through the correct process to pass Obamacare. One way or the other when Republicans take back control the foxes are left into the Hen House so it all goes to shit anyway. Obama and the Congress at the time didn't really understand that Republicans are going to hate them anyway no matter what they passed so they might as well pass policies that positively affect the lives of voters.

Every one of them regardless of overall ideology should beat the drum over budget cuts and rake these fuckers over the coals over their economic agenda. How fucked do you have to be as a society to politically lie down for an agenda about "Tax breaks for the rich, cuts for people who have next to nothing"? Ryan and McConnell have at least another year of this ghoulishness to do and after ripping off the band aid here who knows what's next.
